Hello !!

I have SMPS design, When I try to draw more current SS56 diode gets heated.
So, I have decided to use RC snubber circuit of 10E in series with 100pF/1kV across it.

is this a right solution ??

And check the datasheet, while you are at it.

It could be as simple as exceeding (or getting very near) the diode's max ratings.

Or could be a simple issue of increasing the heatsinking capabilities.
